***UPDATE 10:22 A.M.**
The director of athletics, Mike Alden, also released a statement about Coach Pinkel's DWI arrest:
"We are extremely disappointed in Gary's lack of judgment. He is known as a man of great character and integrity. However, this absolutely goes against everything we stand for, and everything that he teaches his players in regards to our social responsibilities. We hold ourselves to very high standards, and this is a very serious breach of those responsibilities. We are gathering facts and will take action appropriately, and when those actions are determined, we will communicate them publicly."
***ORIGINAL STORY***
University of Missouri head football coach Gary Pinkel was arrested Wednesday night for drunk driving.
A Boone County sheriff's deputy stopped Pinkel's car on Keene Street in Columbia around 10 p.m. Wednesday for lane and signal violations.
Here is what the coach had to say about the arrest:
"Last night after practice, I met some friends for dinner. After dinner, I was stopped by a Boone County officer and received a citation for impaired driving. First and foremost, I am very disappointed in myself for my lack of judgment in this instance. Nobody should drink and drive, including me. My staff and I constantly reinforce with each of our players the importance of not putting yourself into a position such as this. I did not follow that here and for that, I sincerely apologize to the University of Missouri, to our administration, to the Board of Curators and to our fans. I have already met with our staff and communicated with our players and have apologized to them. I accept full responsibility for my actions and will abide by whatever course of action our leadership deems appropriate."
Pinkel was taken to the Boone County Jail, where he was booked on a charge of driving while intoxicated, first offense. He posted $500 bond and was released.
